Mold can be unhealthy for residents, unsightly and can cause permanent stains to floors and finishes. Learn more at the Environmental Protection Agency’s webpage: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture, and Your Home:
Select caulks, adhesives, grout and floor substrates that are low-emitting and non-toxic. Paint ceilings and walls with a low or no-VOC semi-gloss paint that is easy to wipe down.
Eliminate unhealthy building conditions by choosing materials that are impervious to mold and bacteria.
